Tail Race General Construction

October 26, 2013 Written by Randy Mueller

The tail race excavation and berm restoration began in earnest during the sweltering heat of July 2012. A persistent drought throughout the summer provided low flow conditions in river systems throughout SE Wisconsin, making the project more managable. The work was completed by Cadens, LLC and town employees.
